About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- 321CW1230 contributionsBeautiful place...facts mot fictionWe preferred a small group tour, so we went to The Lake Phuket Elephant Home. Two hours outside of Phuketbut well worth the trip. Mayya and her brother Yu were extremely knowledgeable. Elephants each came with their own "caregiver". The interactions between us and the elephants were very relaxed and lunch was pretty darn good too.Written 17 March 2024
- Christina L0 contributionsDol our favourite driver for My Phuket ToursWe always use Dol, our favourite driver with My Phuket Holidays! He is pleasant - always smiling … easy going and very helpful. He is also very caring - always making sure my 90 year old mum is comfortable … He makes sure there are small stool to make it easier for her to get onto his van. This is the 3rd time we have engaged him to bring us around. He has by now become our friend too and someone we can depend on should there be a sudden need or emergency. Thank you My Phuket Tours for such a reliable driver!Written 13 March 2024

We did a walk tour with the elephants and after that we went to the water and brush them. 🤩 They offered towels and nice clean shower rooms! Then we made papaya salad and they served us super tasty lunch! 🤤 I highly recommend this experience! 🙌🙌Written 29 February 2024
- dukeboy19510 contributionsNew and exciting Thai Elephant SanctuaryGreat Introduction to Thai Elephants & Food. This sanctuary is new, and is growing. Everything is clean and up to date. Their herd is smaller than most, but they are growing. The 5 hours we spent there began with a Thai cooking class, and of course sampling everything we made. Then we proceeded to the elephants to feed and roam the forest with them. We learned a lot about the elephants and the rubber trees and other wild life in the area. We appreciated the smaller attendance, so there was a lot of interchange amongst staff and customers. The staff are all very very friendly. Our tour guide, Tony, did a great job in food prep / cooking as well as guided us with the elephants. Tony knows his business, and is excellent communicator. Overall, it was a fun way to gain knowledge while having fun. In addition there is plenty of bottled water to drink as it gets quite warm.Written 27 February 2024

We're from the US and wanted to see Phuket our way, and this tour was perfect for that. Our driver was super chill and made sure we hit all the spots we wanted. We started in Old Phuket Town, checking out the cool buildings and markets. Then we headed to Wat Chalong temple, which was really peaceful and beautiful. But the best part was the Big Buddha Phuket. The views from up there are insane! Our driver timed it perfectly so we missed the crowds and could take it all in. He also kept us stocked with water and gave us some great tips on where to grab some tasty Thai food.Written 14 February 2024

The elephants are shown such respect and you can see what a fantastic bond they have with all the team. You are made to feel at one with the elephants in their own environment I learnt so much about them. Being able to be with them in the lake was amazing they love it.

The kayaking experience around the bay is amazing. Caves and blue waters all around and you feel so close to nature. Feels very safe and the person peddling gives you all the information around and clicks photographs. Later to James bond island through longboat.

We took this day trip to Suwan Khuha Cave Temple to see the reclining golden buddha, then took a longtail boat through the incredible mangrove forests to Phang Nga bay and a short visit to Koh Panyi for lunch before heading back to Phuket and seeing the Worlds Largest Jewellery Store.
Our guide spoke fluent English, Thai and Dutch and was very friendly. The longtail boat was very interesting. We were a little bit disappointed by the lunch served at Koh Panyi - I was under the strong impression that it would be a seafood lunch, we were served a variety of chicken Thai dishes with only a seafood Tom Yum soup and a deep fried sweet and sour fish. Koh Panyi is also really dirty, so ensure that if you buy water that it is sealed.
Would absolutely recommend this experience. It is lovely.

So pick up from the Hotel as scheduled, new bus with aicondition on. The boat a little let s say out fashioned but it gives the tour a special feeling. The staff is polite, very good english, and helpfull. The meal on the bot was fantastic the best meal I had on my 15 day stay on Phuket Island. Quality drinks for free and bears for low prices available. The places visited like u are in Heaven need to do this tour trust me!!! It's fantastic. You whil have a personal guide in the canoe I reccomend to til him with 200 or 300 baht and he will be more helpfull for sure. Hill take u to the best places. Be your fotographer baggage carrier help u with anything u want. Trie to take the first canoe fromxthe boat :) you ll understand why. The tour is worth every penny.

Easy pick up and drop off service from our hotel. Very welcoming staff. Personal guides per each kayak that remains with you throughout the day. We had four stops, one at a 100m long sea cave that you needed to lay down in the kayak to pass through. It opened up to a secluded mangrove lagoon. Very beautiful. The next stop had a smaller cave That opened into a larger Bay Area with several basalt spires. This was the 006 or little James Bond island stop. Third stop was 007 James Bond island which was nice but very crowded. Once on the island there are local vendors to buy souvenirs. Nice photo opportunities and the guides were extremely helpful in taking our pictures. After the James Bond island was a delightful lunch on the boat with local Thai foods. The final stop is a Swimming beach in the National Park. A nice way to get cooled off before a short trip back to the dock. Our guides Rudy and Su were excellent.

If you want a chill and relax day, this is the right activity.
Speed boat experience was great, the islands were gorgeous. But be ready to share it with other hundreds of tourists. The guides were really fun and caring for our well-being: they provide water and soft drinks the whole day.
Plus, we were lucky because the rain was following us but we never got wet !
Bonus for the kayak experience because the guy was telling me everything about what we see.

One of the main highlights when you come to visit Phuket is The James Bond Island and it definitely is a place to visit. For this purpose, we booked a all day tour that took us to this island a 3 more where we enjoyed different activities, including swimming and snorkelling in a wonderful island with Crystal clear water and paddling around a ring shaped island.
Our guide, a local thai called Bond (yes, like the agent) was very funny and kind and everybody on the speed boat was attentive and helpful at all times.
The tour includes teas, coffees and pastries on arrival and before getting on the boat, soft drinks and fruits on the boat and buffet lunch in one of the islands so you don't need to worry about getting drinks and snaks beforehand.
This is the perfect tour to have a taste of the rock covered in green islands that are so common in this area of Thailand. A great experience made so easy!

Mostly you are on yourself. They may guide you how to use mask and that’s it. Actually you should know swimming to dive deep and go far far r snorkelling. But you can do shallow snorkelling by yourself.
